Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,Skarpi's Sheepishy Chagrinning Elf Date: 26 Dec 08 - 05:48 PM Skarpi, It's been a long while with no verse and no talk. I'd much work to do and some bad writer's block. Don't worry, your gift is not being held hostage. It's somewhere in the mail flow with the proper postage. A selection of presents to achieve proper balance So they'll mention you're "gifted" as well as your talents. I'm sure all the presents will find a good home So forgive me for trying to rhyme that with "poem". I'm still an apprentice at writing in verse It'll be there real soon, so things could be far worse. -Robert Frostbite Poetry and Shipping Elf Merry Christmas to all who dwell within, and let nothing you dismay. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,Astro & DD's Santa Date: 26 Dec 08 - 04:17 PM Hope those Homeland Security elves haven't raided your parcel and decided to keep them for them's elves.....(groan). LOL If they have I'm sure we'd recognise them on a trip through 'immigration' |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST, bfdk's Stealth Santa Date: 26 Dec 08 - 12:14 PM Well, here at Gift Wrap Central, things have not been going smoothly. Glad I gave myself some fudge space in my last missive to you. The universe seems to have been conspiring to put obstacles in the way of shipping out your prezzies. Yes, you should have the package before Robert Burns' B.D. -- with luck (and airmail), you may even have it before then! I hope you had a lovely Christmas Day ! Sandy Claws |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: astro Date: 25 Dec 08 - 11:47 PM Dear Santa, No, we've not seen your parcel yet, but you know how those camels are... those kings didn't get there 'til 12th night with their stuff... The season is just prolonged this way, and that's o.k.! Merry happy to you! ~ Becky & Michael in Tucson |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,Astro & DD's Santa Date: 25 Dec 08 - 06:44 PM I guess you haven't got your parcel in time for Christmas. I blame the elves and the fairies! Let's hope it reaches you before New Year. Hope you've enjoyed your Christmas Day Santa x |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,Ranger 1's sincerely sorry secret santa Date: 25 Dec 08 - 06:19 PM Hello there my dear Ranger Santa has been poorly recently and so have the elves. we all got fittened up just in time for the mass World delivery bash but your pressie had to wait until the end of the rush. I sincerely hope it will be delivered safely before twelfth night. Your very own apologetic Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,SINSULL's SANTA Date: 24 Dec 08 - 07:53 PM Happy Christmas Sinsull. Your Santa's present is on its way unfortunately it will be just a little late - just can't get the elf staff these days |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,Leadfinger's SS Date: 24 Dec 08 - 05:34 PM Did it get there yet, Mister fingers-of-lead? The elves are using the Dell computer "just-in-time" delivery method. (Don't take the components off the delivery truck to build a computer until you need them. "Dell" is a hint.)

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,ClaireBear's sad santa Date: 24 Dec 08 - 04:36 PM It looks as though your parcel may not have made it through the ice, snow and winds to get to you in time for December 25th :-{ Don't give up on it! Remember the original day for recieving presents which is still celebrated in some countries is January 6th. With any luck it should make it to you for the feast of the Magi. A good excuse to spread your celebrations the whole of the time of the Lord of Misrule. Hope you enjoy tomorrow and that your surprise arrives VERY soon. Lots of love and hugs Your Special Secret Santa. xxxxxxxx |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,S's (the flute)SS Date: 21 Dec 08 - 04:38 PM Ho Ho Ho Sarah Two cards in the post, 1 Christmas and one post! Have you got your Christmas tree up? If the answer is yes you can open the 2 little pressies, but not the other one. Tee Hee S's SS Ps. Not very good at the clue thingy, but the name may help, Ah silly me you don't know my name do you! DOH! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: Sarah the flute Date: 21 Dec 08 - 06:45 AM I've been very good and not opened my parcel yet so I won't know who my Santa is until the BIG DAY....unless I was supposed to open it...they said there would be a card ...but no card yet... I have no idea who it might be...no clues ...I am in a dilemma and now I see I've missed two shouts on this thread. I am here SANTA but waiting patiently on my itchy fingers Happy Christmas Sarah |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Dec 08 - 02:13 AM A card arrived by snail mail today, signed by a Mudcatter with a mudcat ID saying a gift will be shipped. No mystery, after no word for weeks. Curious! SRS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Dec 08 - 10:47 AM I mailed mine some time back. There was a little fanfare, though of course, incognito. Let's hope the same thing has happened but the post just got dropped by accident. . . |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: Becca72 Date: 19 Dec 08 - 01:29 PM Stilly, No word from my Santa, either. :-( |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 19 Dec 08 - 01:20 PM Is there a Secret Santa MIA support thread? I need to join it or start it. Am I the only one who hasn't heard a peep from my Secret Santa? SRS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,SS de Leadfingers Date: 17 Dec 08 - 06:25 PM The best way to keep you from peeking at your package before Christmas is to time your package so it arrives just in time for the holiday. I had to scramble to find an independent reindeer delivery courier, but have and did dispatch your parcel. Said reindeer is delivering several other parcels en route but I am assured she (most of them are "she," BTW, if you want antlers on your delivery ungulates this time of year) will have it there middle of next week. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: Bat Goddess Date: 17 Dec 08 - 05:33 PM Santa, dear, thanks for letting me know -- but spreading out the season will make Christmas all the more enjoyable. (AND I'll be listening to Kendall's CD which you so generously sent me early!) We've been in the dark (well, nothing new about that) since last Thursday night -- six days without electricity, phone, running water, etcet etcet -- AND WITHOUT MUDCAT!!!!) and the Great Ice Storm of 2008. (Just part of some 440,000 customers without power in New Hampshire.) The power just came back on about an hour ago. By the way, sometimes went prezzies ARE sent Air Mail, the postal authorities get confused and send them surface anyway. Sigh. Happened to packages we sent a few years back, both sent air mail and at the same time and one (to Leadfingers) arrived in a few days. Poor Rumanci had to wait for about a month and a half. No postal elves were ever fired for that -- nor did we ever get an explanation, apology or refund of the extra postage. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,Astro & DesertDancer's SS Date: 17 Dec 08 - 04:28 PM Your Xmas parcel is now in the hands of all the delivery elves, and customs fairies and hopefully will be with you for the Xmas holiday. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: ClaireBear Date: 16 Dec 08 - 09:47 PM Santa dear, I am sorry to hear that you are not in the best of health. Would it be proper to pray for you next Sunday? Oh, right,you're a saint; of course it would be proper! No worries about potential tardiness -- I shall appreciate my pressie whenever it arrives, and as you say there is still plenty of time before Christmas. Anyway I don't begin to think about getting the house ready for Christmas until about winter solstice, so had your gift got shipped earlier, it would not have a tree to sit under when it arrives. Thank you very much for remembering me and my cub! Your affectionate Bear |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,ClaireBear's Tardy Secret Santa Date: 16 Dec 08 - 04:54 PM Hi ClaireBear, Just to let you know your parcel finally hit the mail today. I've not been so well (a permanent type problem) and just hadn't got round to posting it :-( Hopefully it will get there in time. lots of love and hugs Santa xxx PS There's a little something in there for your cub too. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,maire-aine's Santas' workshop Date: 16 Dec 08 - 12:28 PM maire-aine, we pulled it together, we uncovered the right box, and we've loaded it on the ~ m-a's Santa & Co. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,Greg Stephens Secret Santa Date: 16 Dec 08 - 04:06 AM Dear Greg, Mary Christmas and I were just out for a stroll last night with the North Polar Bear and Claws the Christmas Kitten, when down flew one of my Christmas Robins to tell me that it was time to send you something very special. Last night I went into the toy workshop and found the Very Special thing I had put to one side for you and took it back to the house. Mary Christmas and I wrapped it up and North Polar Bear helped with packing it in the box. Claws played with the sellotape and got herself into a right pickle, I can tell you. She's a bit bald in places now where we had to pull the sellotape off her but she will soon be all right. Just so she doesn't get cold on her bald bits, Mary Christmas is knitting her a Christmas jumper to keep her warm. The Christmas Robins have taken your present and it is winging it's way to you. I hope you like it. We chose it especially for you. Have a very Merry Christmas Love Not So Secret Santa |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,Batty's sincerely apologetic Santa Date: 15 Dec 08 - 04:55 AM My dear Mrs Bat My elves got it a bit wrong when I asked them to post your parcel. I couldn't do it myself as, whenever I venture out at this time of year, I get surrounded by hordes of kids who want to tell me what they want for Christmas. Anyway, I asked the (former) chief elf to do the job and he sent it by SURFACE MAIL, which means that you might get it in time for Easter next year, so long as Easter is late! I am arranging for another part of your pressie to be hand delivered after Christmas but I'm afraid that you will have to put up with the one bit that you have received until then. In spite of this I hope that you have a very cool Yule. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: JennieG Date: 15 Dec 08 - 12:56 AM Oooh aarrrrgh Santa! thank you, I shall keep en eye out for the postman. And I have been very very good. Can't you see my halo shining? Cheers JennieG holding her breath because she has been so good......! |

Ah -- I be the greatest of all. It's sent. Far from the dark moors and on the wing. Jack-of-Wombat. That be me, that be. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,Foolestroupe, are you ready for Christmas? Date: 12 Dec 08 - 06:31 AM Well, it appears that my 4th Gnome will be letting the side down and will not arrive with you until the middle of January at the earliest due to market pressures. This Gnome has already been delayed once so I do hope that the latest plan will be successful. Meanwhile I hope the other 3 Gnomes do their jobs properly and help you to enjoy this Christmas! Seasons Greetings, Santa of a Whole Troupe of Fooles!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,MXG Date: 11 Dec 08 - 04:54 PM Oh my, oh my, that was one swift response there, Lady Mary. Were you sitting in wait, or did that Leadfingers notify you? Do you have to wait to open it? Well now, it's not just one 'it', it's several individually wrapped items, so I suppose you could open the box and... I leave that up to your own discretion. But if you start shaking them, the crystal chandelier may break and the magical music box might just start playing 'Yes, we have no bananas' or 'Oi'm 'enery the Eight, Oi yam', so be warned..!! The surveillance team has been called off now, they had to speed back to the Greater London area to watch over an unfortunate damsel who had the misfortune to need transportation by car on icy roads and was in the hands of someone they call 'Tailgate' - or so I've been told by usually entirely unreliable sources, at any rate. So, it seems you can safely dive into your box on receipt if you want to. I do hope the items are to your liking, do enjoy the music box and I hope the chandelier fits in with your interior decoration. I remain, Yours sincerely, MXG |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST Date: 11 Dec 08 - 03:33 PM I just got your pressie to the postal gnomes, so it should arrive (they tell me) in time for Christmas. The reindeer wouldn't make an early run. Said they were still in training. And I thought it was a union thing. You only have a few more days that you *have* to be good. I know you can do it! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: Becca72 Date: 11 Dec 08 - 10:38 AM I hope Santa doesn't forget me this year...I've been as good as can be expected! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: My guru always said Date: 10 Dec 08 - 02:01 PM Many thanks for the Heads up Santa Dear, and also to the Birthday Sprite!! Am very patient so am able to wait for the Postal Gnomes to appear down the driveway and I think I'll wait till Christmas to open it if that's OK? Sending thanks, love & hugs and wishing you both Seasons Greetings! |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: jacqui.c Date: 10 Dec 08 - 12:32 PM Well, unless this has been sent to my daughter's adress I shal have to wait until after Christmas, as I won't be back in Maine until the 28th of this month. I can wait, I think................. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: Maryrrf Date: 10 Dec 08 - 09:40 AM Oh gosh! Do I have to wait till the big day to open it???? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,MXG Date: 10 Dec 08 - 09:25 AM Well, Lady Mary.. The Elvi have left the building. You should find something in your mailbox sometime in the near future. Hopefully, you'll find the selection of goodies to your taste and liking. I fought tooth and claw with an old biddy to get hold of xxx for you, and paid through the nose to acquire zzz. Oh well, you'll see for yourself soon enough, I suppose. Christmas is only a couple of weeks away. Merry Yule-tide, dear Lady, to both you and your Missie, MXG |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST Date: 10 Dec 08 - 06:49 AM Yoo Hoo Sarah, Santa calling, are ya there? |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: Hollowfox Date: 09 Dec 08 - 08:16 PM Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Now I have something to look forward to! I promise not to open it until Christmas morning though. Unless it needs fed or something. Let me know. |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,BCSS Date: 09 Dec 08 - 05:25 PM Oh, crap! Time flies when one is not paying attention! Pressie may be a bit delayed... |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: Mrs Cobble Date: 09 Dec 08 - 04:13 PM Santa I'm good, I'm good, I'm ever so good. I shall watch for the mailbox elves. Mrs C |

Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,MGAS'sSS Date: 09 Dec 08 - 04:11 PM I have finally trekked over to the post office. Our fate is in the hands of the postal gods, but they say it'll get there in time. When it does, you don't really need to wait until Christmas to open it, because, strictly speaking, it's not a pure Christmas present. A birthday sprite asked to enclose something in the parcel. We both decided against the chocolate covered cats. They could be a customs problem. Ho Ho Ho. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,Mrs. Cobble's Secret Santa Date: 09 Dec 08 - 11:44 AM Keep an eye on the mailbox, my dear. The elves should be bringing you a gift very soon! Hope you're still being good... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: GUEST,Hollowfox's Secret Santa Date: 09 Dec 08 - 08:39 AM And they're off! Elves peddling (or maybe pedalling!) like billy-o even as I write. Should make it in time... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Silly Secret Santee teaser 2008 From: Anne Lister Date: 09 Dec 08 - 04:15 AM Thanks, Santa - I shall make sure the postman is protected from the local dragon. It's a bit of a hazard at this time of year, when the flames from the dragon's digestive system are more powerful than the summer. As to your idea about working with the dragons and thus disposing of your surplus reindeer, all I can say is that you'd probably better get really fluent with your Welsh. They're fussier than the Welsh Language Board about mutations and suchlike and the slightest mistake can result in a nasty burn. I'll let you know on the appropriate thread when the package arrives! |
